2011 Audi A5 4.2L Petrol · WV11 UME

The Audi A5 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 28 August 2025 at 62,023 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the available record. The August 2025 pass came just three weeks after a failure on 7 August 2025 at 62,016 miles, though the DVSA entry lists no defects recorded against either outcome. This suggests the earlier failure may have involved administrative or documentation issues rather than a mechanical fault, and the vehicle cleared the retest without advisories. At roughly 15 years old the car shows 62,023 miles, an average of about 4,135 miles per year, which is low for its age. The record confirms light use: only 2,923 miles were added between the August 2023 test at 57,203 miles and the August 2025 pass at 62,023 miles. A short interval of 62 miles separates the March 2023 and August 2023 tests, both near 57,000 miles, indicating the vehicle stood little in that period. Sparse entries and zero advisories across five tests imply the previous keeper kept basic statutory testing current but the low mileage also raises the prospect of prolonged standing that can degrade tyres, brake calipers, and suspension bushes through inactivity. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion from disuse, and check suspension arms and bushes for perishing rubber given the vehicle's age. The clean MOT history offers no flagged structural integrity concerns, yet an independent underside check for chassis rust and exhaust condition remains sensible on a 2011 model. Confirm the August 2025 failure cause with the test station, since the missing defect detail prevents full assurance on that retest.
